Bodrum to Kos ferry tickets and travel planning

Plan your journey between Turkey and Greece with Bodrum Kos Ferry. Compare ticket options for your travel dates, check departure details and arrange a private speedboat quotation with Tesla Travel. Use the booking panel to search for available sailings or contact our team before confirming a time-sensitive itinerary.

Ferry prices: compare the complete ticket

Bodrum to Kos ferry prices vary by operator, travel date, passenger age and ticket conditions. A one-way ticket, same-day return and return on a different date may have different fares. Check the total payable amount, including any port charges or additional fees shown during booking. An old advertised fare is not a current quotation, and a published timetable does not confirm seat availability.

Compare like-for-like options: the same passenger details, dates, direction and fare conditions. Confirm child and infant eligibility, baggage allowances and amendment rules before payment. Keep the booking confirmation and check that every passenger’s name matches their travel document.

Timetables, crossing times and departure ports

Departure times and sailing days depend on the operator and season. Crossing duration depends on the vessel, route and sea conditions; it is separate from check-in, passport control and boarding time. Do not plan around a universal 09:00 or 15:00 departure. Search your exact date and verify both outward and return services.

Use the port and terminal printed on your ticket rather than assuming that every service leaves from the same place. Follow your operator’s check-in deadline and allow additional time for border formalities. Confirm the local departure time for each country, especially around seasonal clock changes. Weather or operational changes can affect a confirmed sailing.

How to book your ferry

Choose your travel date and direction, enter the correct number and ages of passengers, and compare the services returned by the booking system. Review the total price, departure terminal, baggage rules and cancellation conditions. Complete the requested passenger information carefully, then retain the ticket and payment confirmation.

If the booking panel does not load, or no service appears for your date, contact our team. A missing search result does not confirm that a sailing operates or that a private transfer can replace it. Ask for availability before arranging non-refundable onward travel.

Day trip or an overnight stay on Kos?

For a day trip, check the return departure before purchasing the outbound journey. Allow for disembarkation, passport control and the return check-in deadline when estimating your time ashore. Keep your plans close enough to the port to return comfortably.

An overnight stay gives more flexibility, but confirm accommodation and the return sailing separately. If you intend to continue to another Greek island, check that connection independently and leave a buffer for delays. Ferry arrival is not a guaranteed connection to a flight or another vessel.

Passports, visas and border procedures

Entry requirements depend on nationality, travel document and immigration status. Check current official requirements before paying. A ferry booking does not grant entry to Greece or Turkey. If an applicable Greek islands visa programme is available for your nationality and dates, ask about eligibility, required documents and submission deadlines in advance.

Application support is separate from visa approval. Only the competent authorities decide whether a visa is issued and whether entry is permitted. Do not assume that a visa can be obtained by arriving at the port without prior arrangements. Check official guidance through the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Baggage, accessibility, pets and onboard facilities

Baggage allowances, pet acceptance and accessibility arrangements vary by operator and vessel. Tell us before booking if you travel with a wheelchair, reduced mobility, a pet, bulky equipment or a pushchair. Obtain confirmation of the relevant conditions and documentation for your chosen sailing.

Do not assume that a restaurant, duty-free shop, cabin, open deck or vehicle space is available. These are vessel-specific facilities and must be confirmed. Follow crew instructions and keep essential medicines and travel documents accessible.

Private speedboat transfers between Bodrum and Kos

For a journey arranged around your group, request a Bodrum to Kos private speedboat transfer. Send your preferred date, passenger count, luggage details and departure and arrival locations. A private quotation is separate from a scheduled ferry fare.

Private services remain subject to boat availability, weather, authorised border facilities and passport and customs procedures. They do not remove visa requirements or guarantee immediate clearance. Confirm what the quotation includes, such as road transfers and port charges, before payment.

Changes, cancellations and missed departures

Read the conditions attached to your fare before purchasing. Refunds and amendments depend on the operator, ticket type and circumstances. Contact the issuing agent promptly if your plans change. Do not assume that a missed departure can be used on the next service or that a hotel or flight booking will be reimbursed.

Frequently asked questions
